Monica Leftwich Case Study: How to Write for The Huffington Post and Washington Post

Screen Shot 2016-05-07 at 6.09.52 PM
Note from BamideleMonica Leftwich first got on my radar when she sent me the following email:
“I just wanted to say thank you for compiling your “110 Websites That Pay” list. I submitted an article to The Penny Hoarder and it got accepted! I was kinda scared my article would just be ignored because Penny Hoarder is quite popular but an editor responded within a few days of submitting. So, thank you so very much!
Then she sent another email:
Thought I’d let you know that the editors for ThePennyhoarder.com are editing my article as we speak and it will be available shortly.
However, I also wanted to share the good news of me being invited to blog for the Huffington Post today! I recall reading a very simple template you used (I think you posted a screen shot of the actual email) to guest blog for a client. I ran with a similar idea when sending a guest blog to HuffPost editors…and would you believe Mrs. Arianna Huffington’s assistant responded back with an invite to set up a HuffPost blog account? Albeit, there is no pay in blogging with the HuffPost, but the exposure potential is there!
I must thank you again for your simplicity and detail in your ebooks. Of all the freelance writing guides I’ve read, I have to say your strategies helped the most. Thank you again!
Now, I couldn’t help but pay attention. It instantly became clear that Monica is a go-getter who is going places, and I wasn’t surprised when I heard later that she got published on Washington Post. Besides being a smart, talented writer and an action taker, what interests me the most about Monica is the fact that she’s found a process for repeatedly getting featured on major publications. I excitedly invited her to be a part of this case study for Writers in Charge where she shares exactly how she gets published on major publications. Enjoy!
Everyone wants to get published in well-known publications. It gives you exposure, it increases your credibility, and it makes it easier to get high paying clients…  But it’s hard to get noticed when thousands of people are bombarding the editors with their pitches.
Monica Leftwich only started freelancing in 2014, but she’s already a contributor to The Huffington Post and Washington Post, and she has attracted a lot of attention with a few of her controversial articles.
How did she manage to avoid the slush pile?

“Maybe I should give this a shot…”  

Monica got interested in freelance writing when she stumbled upon some well-known blogs in that niche.
“I started reading about successful writers, people like Carol Tice and Bamidele Onibalusi, who were making good money, and I thought, you know what, I’m busy, but I do have a little bit of free time, so maybe I should give this a shot.”
She found her first client on a website called Writer Access. She responded to an ad about beauty and natural hair for African American women, got the job, and wrote her first paid article. Soon, that client asked her to write for them regularly. In her words,“That’s how I realized, wow, okay, I can make some extra money doing this”.
She started applying for jobs on places like Elance and oDesk.“It was pretty random. One client asked me to write a white paper, another wanted web content, yet another was interested in technical writing… I even created a flyer for someone’s website!” She ended up working with 5-10 clients during that first year of freelancing. “The pay wasn’t always great, but it did give me some writing experience, and it helped me build my portfolio!”

Getting Published on The Huffington Post

Monica then started thinking about how to move up from random clients to more bigger publications. She had a controversial story idea that she thought might work well for The Huffington Post, so she emailed one of the editors, and was told to submit her pitch via the submission form. She did that, received no response, and realized that she needed to find  another way in.
“I did some research on other writers who got published on The Huffington Post, and several of them mentioned that instead of going to a specific editor with their idea they went directly to Arianna Huffington, because she often says in her interviews that people are more than welcome to email her with story ideas”.
So she looked up her email address, crafted a short pitch, and pressed “Send.” “I thought, what’s it gonna hurt? I’ll either hear from her or I won’t hear from her.”
huffpost pitch
She got a reply from one of Arianna’s assistants saying that Arianna was unavailable (she was vacationing in Greece), but that he really enjoyed Monica’s pitch, and he wanted her to go ahead and write the post. “He gave me a Huffington Post blogging account right there!”
When “Why I Simply Don’t Give a Damn About My $100k+ in Student Loans” went live, the controversial topic attracted a lot of attention — way more attention than what Monica had expected! “I was quite surprised by it all. I got a ton of emails and Facebook messages saying, ‘Hey, your post was great, now I’m less stressed about my student loans and have more peace of mind!’ Roland Martin mentioned me on one of his radio shows. I was featured in USA Today. It was pretty crazy. Currently, the article generated nearly 8,000 comments across social media.”

Getting Published on Washington Post

Getting published on The Huffington Post gave Monica the confidence to look for a place where she could write about a topic that was close to her heart. “I’ve been a single mother for many years now, and I wanted to start writing about parenting and dating as a single parent, so I was trying to find a venue for that.” So when she heard about an upcoming interview with one of Washington Post’s editors, she saw an opportunity…
“I’m subscribed to this website called Beyond Your Blog, and one day I got an email from them saying that they are going to be interviewing Washington Post editor, Lisa Bonos (she’s the editor of a blog called Soloish that talks about modern dating).
I was able to catch that interview, and during it she said what type of material she’s looking for and how you can get set up with a writer’s account at Washington Post.”
Monica reached out to the Soloish editor with a pitch for yet another controversial post… And the editor loved it!
washington post
He wouldn’t kiss me until I got tested for STDs” got mixed responses. “A lot of readers assumed that I was basically calling people who are currently living with STDs dirty, which was  not the case at all. I would never belittle someone living with a disease. I was just telling my story concerning STDs”.
Monica wasn’t upset about the backlash, though. “People misinterpreting your writing is an inevitable part of being a writer, that comes with the territory. Some people will choose to be upset about something that you didn’t even say even after you have explained your position. There’s nothing you can do about it. All you can do is be honest and write from the heart.”

Monica’s Top 3 Tips for Writers In Charge Audience

What is Monica’s advice to our readers who want to get published on well-known publications?
  • Don’t be scared to be controversial. “Once again, it’s important to be honest and write from the heart, because that’s how you connect with the readers. So don’t shy away from controversial topics. Write what’s really on your mind.”
  • Have a thick skin. “Look, not everybody is going to like what you have to say, in fact, some people might get pretty upset about it. Don’t take it personally and don’t let all those comments, tweets, and emails get to you. Honestly, if you aren’t making at least one person upset, you can’t call yourself a true writer.”
  • Do your homework. “Don’t just pitch random editors willy nilly.  Read the blogs that you want to get published on and get a sense of the content they are interested in. You might have a great story idea, but if you are pitching to the wrong publications over and over again, you won’t get anywhere.”

What’s next for Monica?

“I’d like to get more clients. I’m looking for other publications I could contribute to. I think it’s important to have several streams of income.
I’d also like to write a personal finance book for single parents. I have significant student loan debt, but I’m paying that off slowly but surely, which takes some creativity given that I have 2 children to feed. Once everything is paid off, I’d like to write a book about how I was able to do that, and hopefully help other single parents take control of their finances.”

Need a professional writer? Fiction and non-fiction? contact richard.nata@yahoo.co.id
Let me introduce myself. My name is Richard Nata. I am an author, novelist, blogger and ghost writer. My articles, including short stories have been published in magazines and newspapers since 1994. I have written a lot of books, both fiction and non-fiction. So I was a professional in the field of writing, both fiction and non-fiction.

I was born in Jakarta, August 17, 1968.  

In 1988, at the age of 20 years, I started working as an accounting staff. Age 24 years has occupied the position of Finance Manager. Age 26 years as a General Manager.

In 1994, my articles published in magazines and tabloids.

In 1997, I wrote a book entitled "Buku Pintar Mencari Kerja". This book is reprinted as much as 8 times. Through the book, the authors successfully helped tens of thousands of people get jobs at once successful in their careers. They were also successful when moving to work in other places.

In 1998, I started investing in shares on Bursa Efek Indonesia (Indonesia stock exchange). As a result of investing in the stock market then I can provide consulting services for companies that want to go public in Indonesia stock exchange.

BUKU PINTAR DAPAT KERJA GAJI TINGGI PINDAH KERJA GAJI SEMAKIN TINGGI made by retyping the book BEST SELLER of the author, entitled “Buku Pintar Mencari Kerja”. This ebook available on google play.

In 2015, I had the idea of a startup company where the readers can decide for themselves the next story. WASN'T THIS A GREAT IDEA? IF can be realized WILL BE WORTH billions USD. Because CAN PRODUCE FOR MILLIONS OF DOLLARS even tens of millions USD annually. 

In theory, in 10-20 years into the future, my startup income, amounting to hundreds of million USD annually can be obtained easily. AND IF FOLLOWED BY MANY COMPANIES IN THE WHOLE WORLD WILL THEN BE A NEW INDUSTRIAL worth trillions USD. 

To be honest. Currently I'm not having a lot of money. So I start marketing my startup with blogspot.

My STARTUP :


A story with millions of choices in it - looking investor like you.



Try to imagine this. When you're reading a story on the web or blog, you are given two choices. You can choose the next story based on your own choice. After selecting then you can continue reading the story. Shortly afterwards you will be presented back to the 2 other options. The next choice is up to you. Then you continue the story you are reading. After that you will be faced again with 2 choices. So onwards. The more stories you read so the more options you have taken.


If you feel curious then you can re-read the story by changing your selection. Then you will see a different story with the story that you have read previously. The question now is why is this so? Because the storyline will be varying according to your choice. 


I, as the author is planning to make tens of thousands of articles with millions of choices in it. With tens of thousands of articles then you like to see a show of your favorite series on TV for several years. The difference is while watching your favorite TV series, then you can not change the story. Meanwhile, if you read this story then you can alter the way the story according to your own choice.

You might say like this. Sounds like a book "choose your own adventure". Books I read when I was young.

Correctly. The idea is taken from there. But if you read through a book, the story is not so exciting. Due to the limited number of pages. When a child first you may already feel interesting. But if you re-read the book now then becomes no fun anymore because you don't get anything with the amount of 100-200 pages. 

Have you ever heard of game books?  When you were boy or girl, did you like reading game books? I think you've heard even happy to read it.

Gamebooks are sometimes informally called choose your own adventure books or CYOA which is also the name of the Choose Your Own Adventure series published byBantam BooksGamebook - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Gamebook - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

A gamebook is a work of fiction that allows the reader to participate in the story by making effective choices. The narrative branches along various paths through the use of numbered paragraphs or pages.

Bantam Books with the Choose Your Own Adventure 

series has produced more than 250 million US 

dollars. While I offer you more powerful than the Choose 

Your Own Adventure. Because of what? Because the 

story that I made much more interesting than the stories 

created by the authors of Bantam Books. You will not get anything just to 100-200 pages. While the story that I created is made up of tens of thousands of articles with millions of choices in it.

For comparison are the books published with the theme "choose your own adventure" produces more than 250 million copies worldwide. If the average price of a book for 5 USD, the industry has produced more than 1.5 billion USD. But unfortunately this industry has been abandoned because the reader begins to feel bored. The last book was published entitled "The Gorillas of Uganda (prev." Search for the Mountain Gorillas ")". And this book was published in 2013.

Based on the above, then you are faced with two choices. Are you interested in reading my story is? Or you are not interested at all. The choice is in your hands.
If you are interested then spread widely disseminated this article to your family, friends, neighbors, and relatives. You can also distribute it on facebook, twitter, goggle +, or other social media that this article be viral in the world. By doing so it is a new entertainment industry has been created.

Its creator named Richard Nata.

The full articles that talks about this: 
  



WHY DO I NEED STARTUP FUNDS FROM INVESTORS? I NEED A LOT OF FUNDS FROM INVESTORS BECAUSE I HAVE TO LOOKING FOR EXPERT PROGRAMMERS(IT).BECAUSE THE DATA IS HANDLED IS VERY LARGE, IT MAY HAVE TO WEAR SOME PROGRAMMERS(IT).

I CAN NOT WEAR SOME FREELANCE PROGRAMMER BECAUSE THE DATA MUST BE MONITORED CONTINUOUSLY FROM VIRUSES, MALWARE, SPAM, AND OTHERS.

IN ADDITION FUNDS FROM INVESTORS IS ALSO USED TO BUY SERVERS WITH VERY LARGE CAPACITY. FUNDS ARE ALSO USED TO PAY EMPLOYEE SALARIES AND OPERATIONAL COSTS OF THE COMPANY.

FUNDS CAN ALSO BE USED FOR ADVERTISING AND OTHER MARKETING STRATEGIES.FUNDS CAN ALSO BE USED TO ADVERTISE MY STARTUP AND OTHER MARKETING STRATEGIES.

IF I GET A VERY LARGE FUND, THE PART OF THE FUNDS USED TO TRANSLATE THE STORY INTO VARIOUS LANGUAGES.With more and more languages, the more readers we get.
WITH MORE AND MORE READERS, THE MORE REVENUE WE GET. 

AS AN INVESTOR THEN YOU DO NOT HAVE TO FEEL ANXIOUS ABOUT YOUR FUNDS. BECAUSE YOUR FUNDS WILL NEVER BE LOST BECAUSE IN 3-5 YEARS YOU HAVE RETURNED THE FUNDS COUPLED WITH PROFIT.
THIS BUSINESS IS ONE AND THE ONLY ONE IN THE WORLD.

If we can make a good story, so that the readers will 

come again and again for further reading the story then 

our earnings will continue to grow and will never 

diminish. This is due to new readers who continued  to 

arrive, while long remained loyal readers become our 

customers.

So that the number of our readers will continue to 

multiply over time. With the increasing number of loyal 

readership then automatically the amount of income we 

will also grow larger every year. The same thing 

happened in yahoo, google, facebook, twitter, linkedin, 

and others when they still startup.

Deuteronomy {28:13} And the LORD shall make thee the 

head, and not the tail; and thou shalt be above only, and 

thou shalt not be beneath; if that thou hearken unto the commandments of the LORD thy God, which I command thee this day, to observe and to do [them: ]

Try to imagine this. If I give a very unique story. It was the first time in the world. But the world already know this story even liked it. Because the world love the game books. While the story that I made is the development of game books.
Do you Believe if I dare say if I will succeed because my story will be famous all over the world as Harry Potter?
I believe it. Not because I was the author of the story, but because of the story that I made is unique and the only one in the world. 
Income from my startup :
1. Ads. With millions of unique visitors, the price of the ads will be expensive.
2. Affiliate marketing. In addition to advertising, we are also able to put up some banner from affiliate marketing.
3. Contribution of the readers. If you have a million readers and every reader to pay one US dollar per year then you will get the income of one million US dollars per year. 
If you have a million readers and every reader to pay one US dollar per month then you will get as much revenue twelve million US dollars per year.
4. Books and Comics. After getting hundreds of thousands to the millions of readers of the story will be made in books and the form of a picture story (comics).
5. Movies. If we have a good story with millions of readers then quickly we will be offered to make a film based on the story.
6. Merchandise related to characters. After the movies there will be made an offer for the sale of goods related to the characters.
7. Sales. With millions of email that we have collected from our readers so we can sell anything to them.
    Each income (1-7) worth millions to tens of millions of US dollars. 
    Because each income (1-7) worth millions to tens of millions of US dollars. Then in 10-20 years into the future, AI will be earning hundreds of million USD annually.
So how long do you think my story that I made could gather a thousand readers? Ten thousand readers? One hundred thousand readers? A million readers? Five million readers? Ten million readers? More than ten million readers?
But to get all of it of course takes time, can not be instant. In addition, it takes hard work, big funds and placement of the right people in the right positions.
By advertising, viral marketing, strong marketing strategies and SEO then a million readers can be done in less than a year. Ten million readers can be done in two to three years.
This is the marketing strategy of my startup.
When hundreds of thousands or millions of readers already liked my story then they have to pay to enjoy the story that I made.
If you are a visionary then you will think like this.
With the help of my great name in the world of business, my expertise in marketing, advertising, marketing by mouth, viral marketing, then collecting a million readers to ten million readers will be easy to obtain. Is not that right?
The question now is what if people like my story as they like Harry Potter? You will get tens of millions or even hundreds of millions of email addresses from readers. With that much email, we can sell anything to the readers.
Since April 2013, Wikipedia has around 26 million articles in 285 languages are written by 39 million registered users and a variety of anonymous people who are not known from other parts of the world.  Web ranked by Alexa, Wikipedia is a famous website number 6 which has been visited by 12% of all Internet users with 80 million visitors every month and it is only from the calculation of America.

resource : http://www.tahupedia.com/content/show/136/Sejarah-dan-Asal-Mula-Wikipedia

If no Wikipedia then need hundreds of thousands to millions of books required to make 26 million articles in 285 languages into books.

With the Wikipedia then people started to leave to read a book or books to seek knowledge about a subject or many subjects.

The same thing will happen. Read a story in a book or books to be abandoned. Read a story with millions of choices on the web or blog is far more interesting than reading a book or books. 

So what happens next? In 10-20 years ahead then read a story in a book to be abandoned. Otherwise my startup will grow and continue to develop into a new entertainment industry.

New entertainment industry, where I was a forerunner startup will continue to evolve. 
Therefore, in 10-20 years into the future, my startup will be earning hundreds of million USD annually.

So do not delay. Invest your money immediately to my startup. Take A Look. There are so many advantages if you want to invest in my startup.
WHY YOU SHOULD INVEST YOUR MONEY RIGHT NOW? .
IF YOU INVEST YOUR FUNDS IN ONE, TWO OR THREE YEARS INTO THE FUTURE, YOU MAY BE TOO LATE.
BECAUSE IN 1-3 YEARS INTO THE FUTURE THEN I'VE GOT THE FUNDS. THE FUNDS CAN COME FROM SOME INVESTORS, LOANS FROM BANKS OR FROM ADVERTISEMENTS POSTED ON MY BLOG.

IF I'VE GOT A LARGE AMOUNT OF FUNDS THEN I'VE NO NEED OF YOUR FUNDS. SO INVEST NOW OR NOT AT ALL.

My BLOG started to be written January 11, 2015. TODAY, MAY 30, 2015, THE NUMBER OF CLICKS HAS REACHED 56,750. SO FAR SO GOOD.

If I get big funds from investors then with a quick story that I wrote will spread throughout the world.

So I got acceleration because I can put ads in a large variety of media such as Google AdWords, Facebook, and others. I also can perform a variety of other marketing strategies.
If I do not get funding from investors then my story would still spread throughout the world. But with a longer time, Slow but sure.

So either I get funding from investors or not, the story that I wrote will remain spread throughout the world. Ha ... 7x

So don't worry, be happy.

My advice to you is you should think whether the data that I have provided to you makes sense or not .
If my data reasonable then immediately invest your funds as soon as possible.

Then we discuss how we plan further cooperation.

Thank you.
Lord Jesus bless you.
Amen
P.S. The offer letter I gave also to the hedge funds and 

venture capital and other major companies 

in the entire 

world. So who is fast then he will get it.


P.P.S. In addition, there is one more thing I 

want to tell you. If a story can generate tens 

of millions of US dollars, then what if made 


many stories? Then why do not you make 2, 3 or many stories? You will get hundreds of million USD annually.
